"The best of all would be the strongest student, yes? Wisest? Most learned in the ways of the Force? Best of all, Dooku would be! Our greatest student! Our greatest failure."

Dane: “There’s a whole album, actually. I found it at the vinyl shop a few blocks over from the flat. They had another copy, if you want a physical one for your collection. Otherwise, I’ll just rip mine for you.”
Charley: *lowers the headphones* “I would love to drop by and grab a copy, but I’m going to be slammed this week.”
Dane: “The bake sale. I haven’t forgotten.”
Charley: *groans, covering her face* “I wish I could forget. I know it was my idea to go to Yuri, and I don’t regret it, but she is intense.”
Dane: “That’s one word for it.”
Charley: “I’m just glad we waited until the end of the school year. At least I don’t have actual classes to teach on top of everything else. But I need to start planning my lessons for next year, and there’s a new curriculum to learn for the high school kids. Also, I have tutoring for the school’s summer program as well as outreach at the community center. Danny wants to add another practice per week, and I still haven’t finished the required reading for book club, and the meeting is tomorrow night...” *starts to twist hair aggressively around her finger*
Dane: *squeezes her knee* “Breathe, Chuck, and tell me what I can do to help—other than pick you up a copy of Joey in the Hole, because that’s a done deal.”
Charley: *removes the headphones and sits up, curling her legs underneath* “Really? You don’t mind checking to see if the shop still has a copy for me?”
Dane: *tucks Charley’s hair behind her ear, gives her an ‘obviously-I-don’t-mind-at-all-I’d-do-anything-for-you-duh-you’re-really-dense’ look*
Charley: *faint smile* “Thanks.”
Dane: “You’re going to start the baking on Wednesday, yeah?”
Charley: *nods* “We’re using my kitchen and Yuri’s, primarily, but Kumi, Candy, and Emma have offered theirs to us, too. Yuri’s already visited each kitchen to assure they meet her cleanliness standards. She missed her calling. She’d make a great health inspector.”
Dane: *begins rifling through Danny’s vinyl collection* “I expect Yuri would make a great anything and everything, if she were so inclined.”
Charley: “She’s amazing. She got all the permits required for the event. She managed to secure so many donations that we hardly needed to pony-up any cash at all, and the stuff we did have to buy, Yuri used her own money. I’m just nervous I won’t live up to her expectations once we start baking.”
Dane: “You were upfront with her that you didn’t bake much. Besides, you’ve got Molly in your corner, and she can definitely bake. She sent something called hummingbird cake back to our place with Caid, and we inhaled it in about thirty seconds flat. She even impressed Dillon, and you know he’s picky.”
Charley: “Yeah, I’m really lucky to have both Molly and Dillon helping out. Molly can outbake just about anyone, and Dillon’s pastries are incredible. I don’t even like sweets, and I’ll eat his stuff. The way he mixes flavors is crazy. It shouldn’t work, but it always does…” *shakes head, mystified*
Dane: “Well, you certainly get enough chances to sample. He bakes at your place more than ours.”
Charley: “That’s because the stove at you guys’ place only has two working burners and an oven that won’t preheat past three-fifty. *grabs Dane’s phone, turns off music, expression agitated* I just feel like I started this whole bake sale thing, so I should be pulling my own weight, not depending on everyone else.”
Dane (patiently): “Charley, you always pull your own weight, and then some. The trick with you is getting you to ask for and/or accept help in the first place. Molly and Dillon seem dead chuffed to help, and so does Yuri.”
Charley: *noncommittal noise*
Dane: “Candy’s already cleared her schedule this week, and the guys and I are at your disposal. Caid often helped his grandmother bake, and Dillon’s a pastry savant, so they’ll probably be the most useful. Dan and I can fold boxes or wash pans. We all want to help. It’s for a good cause…and it’s for you.”
Charley: *looks at Dane, appreciation palpable* “Thanks. I’ll probably need a few more talk downs before this whole thing is finished. It is really getting to me. It makes me feel useless and out of control…and I’m not good with either.”
Dane: “I’m here for you. Anything you need.” *reaches up, brushes Charley’s cheek with his thumb*
Charley: *presses her cheek into his hand*

14th April 2018. The East Lancashire Railway had organised a special gala to celebrate sixty years of the Class 40 diesel locomotive. There are only seven left in preservation and the ELR had got six of them [including D200 which is usually in the National Railway Museum in York] for this special weekend.
In the photograph BR Class 40 1Co-Co1 No.40135 [D335] approaches Bury Bolton Street with a stopping train from Rawtenstall.
This was a day last year in the Lakes walking with muddybootsuk for a view from the summit of Fleetwith Pike, over to Haystacks and then down to Buttermere for a stop in at The Fish. While descending Fleetwith Pike MB spotted Warnscale Head bothy so we made a 'slight' detour to drop down to check out the bothy.
Now it's only four weeks until we are back in the Lake District for our 2018 holiday! Looking forward to getting back, walking the hills, a pint or two, probably taking a few photos and hopefully meeting up with some old friends and maybe a few new ones.
The 2 species of Ptyodactylus in the UAE, ruusaljibalicus and orlovi. I keep ID-ing by locality, but can also be done by counting the scales near the cloaca... ? 🤔
ruusaljibalicus has 4 prominent scales near the cloaca, which it's cousin orlovi lacks.
The geckos are 2 of the largest species of geckos in the United Arab Emirates, both mainly nocturnal (they can occasionally be seen during the day in the colder season), their habitat are the mountains.
San Jorge de Guacamayos is a Private Lodge and Wildlife Preserve located in the epicenter of the World Christmas Bird Count spot and amazingly surrounded by National Parks and protected areas.
Sumaco, Cayambe Coca, Napo Galeras, and Antisana National Parks are around this excellent nature spot connected directly to Sumaco and Antisana National Parks.
Wonderful sightseeing from Sumaco Volcano in the North and
Antisana mountain foothills in the South. Dozens of water ponds and waterholes with crystalline water. It is the origin of the Urcusiqui River. The property has two climate steps and has an actual 450 species birds inventory offering many more to be discovered! butterflies paradise! orchids and a megadiverse untouched pristine cloud forest! Big mammals like Tapirs, Bears, Pumas, Ocelots, Monkeys, and many others live in the lush forest. Quality hotel and specialized ecotourism service.
Beautiful Eco Lodge inserted in the middle of the forest with no outside noisy road connection. Wonderful sightseeing always changes characteristics by sun, clouds, and rain. BIRDING, WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY, and NATURE EXPEDITIONS FOR ALL AGES! www.ecosanjorge.com
This was taken on one of the really stinking hot days in July. This little boy, along with his brothers and sisters, had the brilliant idea of going and swimming in the fountains by the Victoria rooms in Bristol. Splashing and playing and having a wonderful time, they were completely oblivious to all of the disgruntled looking business men in their expensive suits who obviously thought these kids were out of line. I kept hearing them say things like 'where the hell are their parents?' and 'somebody should bloody do something about this'.
They were just secretly jealous that they couldnt go and play too.
Bastards.
All three of Music City Star's commuter sets are lined up south of the NERR yard in Lebanon on a humid Saturday in the Nashville suburbs. Using ex-Amtrak F40s and ex-Metra (C&NW) gallery cars, it's a neat, little commuter operation; #381 in the back is still painted in Pacific Surfliner blue.
As he keeps watch over his flock at the Sheep Show, Jack the dog can't get past his duty of counting the sheep to make sure they are all there. It gets him every time.

The bartender at the Mansion on Forsyth Park counts the receipts from the evening. I think it had been a slow night. The bar and restaurant are in the historic wing of the hotel, a former mansion and later still a funeral home before becoming part of the hotel.
A variety ( counted 10 so far ) of ScotRail trains viewed from the platform at Haymarket railway station looking west past Haymarket depot and to Saughton on the 6th of November 2018
In the platform 334019 waits to leave with 2H01 Edinburgh Waverley - Helensburgh Central via Bathgate with another pair of Class 334's waiting for the signal to proceed into the platform with 2M32 from Milngavie while 170410 heads into platform 1 with 2P82 from Dunblane
In the background in the depot the last remaining Class 158, 158730 in the First livery is shunting around past 170412 with 43179 & 43033 just behind
Finally behind the 334's in the queue are a pair of Class 385's working 1R48 Glasgow Queen Street
I'm pretty sure this counts as a figbarf... We really need to come up with a more appealing term for that... :P
Anyway, for the series I remade some recurring characters throughout Spidey's different incarnations.

US flags abound as a pair of UP locomotives lead CSX train K610 through Newburgh NY on yet another snowy Superbowl Sunday in New York. The former New York Central station is off to the left in the background, while an Erie RR pillar crane stands as a remnant of a once large waterfront freight yard on the right.
